Connor's Hogwarts

Dumbledore actually asked the skeleton dance troupe to dance

Connor really didn't know what a group of skeletons doing a striptease would be good to see. Could it be that Dumbledore was trying to make the little wizard understand what "pink skeletons" were? But you, a wizard, don’t believe in Buddhism either.

The Halloween dinner went well. From time to time, expressive little wizards would perform on stage, singing, dancing, or pretending to be ghosts to scare people. This reminded Connor of the shameful past he did in the first grade. Fortunately, the person who knew about it had already graduated. Halfway through, there was no video evidence left. Although it was a commendable magic performance in the eyes of others, Connor only felt that it was a dark history that needed to be covered up.

The Weasley brothers obviously have opposite opinions to Connor. They are all "stars who will die if they don't cause trouble" and will never miss the opportunity to perform at the banquet. No, they went on stage to perform the coin-throwing dance. As magic gold coins rained down in the Great Hall, the hall echoed with the cheers of Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs.

But Connor looked at the disdainful and disdainful eyes of the quiet Slytherins around him, and suddenly he understood why the two houses were always incompatible.

For example, in fact, Slytherins enjoy the feeling of being popular as much as Gryffindors, but they can't shamelessly "grandstand" and have a psychological effect of "I can do it, I just don't bother to do it". Next, they find the Gryffindors who have no style and love to show off extremely displeasing to them.

Then Connor looked at Ivan, who was sitting next to Ginny at the Gryffindor table, and suddenly became a little worried about his brother's interpersonal relationships. Doesn't that kid have no friends in the academy? If you just go to the "enemy" camp openly and openly, will your friends really let you go so easily?

"Are you worried about your brother?" Alice asked with a chuckle after noticing Connor's gaze.

"No, Ivan also has his own life. I can't interfere too much." Connor denied it and lowered his head to eat his food.

"Haha, that's right." Alice smiled sweetly and whispered: "So I say you don't understand our Slytherin [tradition] at all. In Slytherin, things that affect a person's status in the group There are many factors, but the most important one is always family background.”

"Almost all wizards in Slytherin are from magic families. They may not have learned magic since they were young, but they definitely know the division of power in the wizarding world. After all, this is one of the required courses for us since childhood."

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember that I have learned it? Oh, by the way, I never had a tutor when I was a child. I seem to have missed a lot of lessons."

Connor recalled Ivan who had to go to class every day as a child, and himself who skipped the elementary school stage and fast forwarded to learn painting magic from his grandfather, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be the "other".

Alice rolled her eyes slightly and continued: "Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, we Slytherins are arrogant and indifferent, united and exclusive, and we are often isolated from other colleges because of our own fault."

"Is not it?"

"...Yes! But there is a reason!" Alice glared at Connor: "We wanted to manage every relationship seriously at the beginning, but just sorting out the network of relationships with classmates from the same college was too much. It has exhausted most of the Slytherins."

"Most Slytherins were told by their family elders before enrolling to have a good relationship with so-and-so, and to keep a distance from so-and-so. Our first priority after enrolling is also this. Rather than learning magic, managing interpersonal relationships is The focus of our lives, but you can’t expect a group of eleven or twelve-year-olds to be really good at relationships.”

Alice put down the knife and sighed deeply: "So the end result is mostly a mess of everything."

"Pfft, Connor, don't believe Alice's nonsense. In fact, she can't make friends because of her bad temper." (Sister)

"That's right, that's right. I still remember that when I was in first grade, Alice always had a dark face almost every time she came home. I obviously got along well with my friends~" (Sister)

"Can you two shut up!" Alice became angry and slapped Connor's thigh hard: "Anyway, this is the result of my careful investigation! Connor, you believe me or them!"

"I believe you, believe you! Of course I believe you," Connor comforted with a dry smile. Is this kind of thing worth arguing about...

"Hmph! In short, it is difficult for you to make real friends in Slytherin, because all relationships here are actually related to interests. Under the influence of our family, we are used to using interests to measure feelings. It is precisely because of this that we It will appear united because our interests are connected together!"

Alice crossed her arms and said: "So Connor, you don't have to worry about your brother at all. Now your Lake family is the one everyone in Slytherin needs to fawn over."

Not knowing what she thought of, Alice suddenly hugged Connor's arm and said with a serious expression: "But I'm different! I really like Connor!"

"Hey~ Astoria, your arms are all covered in pimples, it's disgusting~" (Sister)

"Daphne, you are too, disgusting~" (Sister)

"That's enough for you two!!" Alice jumped angrily, almost jumping over the table to hit someone.

Connor patted Alice on the head in a funny way and said, "Okay, okay, they are just joking."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Alice's eyes. She leaned her head on Connor's arm and muttered: "But I seem to be turning your brotherhood into a place that values ​​interests. I also know that you This was not the original intention.”

Connor smiled: "Do you think I stopped you? What you did is not wrong. Paying attention to interests is actually not a bad thing. Who can say that a friendship based on interests is not friendship? In other words, how many friendships are really true? Doesn’t it involve some benefit?”

"." Alice's hand holding Connor tightened again, and after a while she whispered: "Connor, I dragged Daphne and Astoria into the fraternity without permission. Do you blame me?"

"Huh? No, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

"I also know that it is wrong for me to abuse my power like this, but I often think that it would be great if our college also had the atmosphere of a fraternity... In fact, every Slytherin is eager to make friends in school, and in Everyone in the Brotherhood has done it easily, so I hope to bring them in... All Slytherins should have this opportunity. But I don't know how to go about it."

Alice buried her head on Connor's shoulder and murmured incoherently.

"." Haha, this crazy girl is quite cute sometimes. Connor touched Alice's head and said nothing.

Suddenly, Connor felt something vibrate in his arms. He helped Alice up: "Sorry, let me check the Facebook information."

But Connor had just taken out Facebook from his pocket, and before he even opened it, the door to the auditorium was suddenly knocked open, and in came Ron and Hermione, who were running out of breath.

Ron looked out of breath, but he shouted with all his strength: "Help! Snakes! Lots of snakes!"
